This week is one of the most activated in a long while. It brings the Libra Lunar eclipse and a bunch of Mercury aspects.
It’s also an important week in both the Catholic and Jewish faith, with Palm Sunday highlighting the lead in to Easter, and the start of Passover.
It’s not for nothing everything seems to happen at once! Many traditional religious festivals are based on lunar timing.
For instance, Easter is calculated starting from the March equinox. Then, the following Full Moon is considered and Easter is the Sunday after that. Passover looks to start just before this Full Moon.
Whether you’re spiritual in an esoteric sense or more religious, faith is in focus.
I’ve spoken about April’s astrology in a free MP3 available here, so what I’d like to do in this post is touch on other aspects happening this week that may otherwise get overlooked.
Moon Movements
The Moon reaches her peak, so the week brings fullness and culmination. Yes, emotions run high but they are the key to your soul. Notice what stirs your heart – and what you want to escape from. These are your calls to action. The Moon lights up the signs of:
– Virgo (this weekend, great for being productive, detailed work)
– Libra (Sun/Mon/Tues, focus is on teamwork, togetherness and compromise)
– Scorpio (Tues/Wed/Thurs, highlighting truth, trust and responsibility)
– Sagittarius (Thurs/Fri/Sat, adventure, discover, new experiences)
Let’s not forget…..Venus!
All that said there are two absolutely sparkling Venus aspects on Thursday and Friday.
On Thursday Venus in Pisces trines Jupiter in Cancer. This aspect has goodness, generosity and abundance written all over it.
It’s blessed energy that invites you to act with divine inspiration, and treat those you love with tender loving care. Love has a big, soulful and genuine feeling.
On Friday Venus sextiles Pluto, adding depth, intensity and the desire for truth. It may be possible to open up in new ways, or create more intimate connections. Loyalty is highlighted and nothing says you care by being there.
Generally Venus is about romance, love, beauty and luxury so these aspects can be favourable for dating and relationships, for pampering and pleasure and for business dealings that truly have integrity.
What are you in tune with this week – the cardinal cross crazy or can you feel the heartwarming undertone of Venus?
